PORTLAND CoUNTERFEirERs.
NO Evidence and the Men Discharged
without Hearing.
PORTLAND. Nav "a

PORTLAND, May "a
In the municipal court this morning an
unusually large number of spectators gath
ered' drawn there by the announcement that
the counterfeiters' gang, arrested Yesterday
would be arraigned for trial.
In this the audience was disanpoin,ed
Elmer the officers have no evidence against
tne men and are waiting till they can let them
go quietly, or they are waiting in the hone
TO accumulate more evidence before Begin
ming trial OF the case.
Mr. David Steinberg. the leader of the
party that has been boarding at the Eagle
house, was interviewed this morning in the
marshaPs office in the police station, where
ne was in consultation with his counsel. He
speaxs freely about the affair and tells a
straightforward story. The gang, he saws.
are men in his employ. He himself is the
accredited representative of the Pavonia
Soap company, of Brooklyn, n. Y, an old
established business firm of over forty years
existence. Steinberg is working on a salary
and is allowed expenses The men with him
are under his orders. I'VE can show by our
books" he says, "that the business we have
engaged in was all square and right. The
TAX about counterfeit money was nothing
out Joke. You know how lot of fellows
Will carry on when they come from large
city to smaller place. There was no wrong
intended any further than to have some fun >"
Mr.. StelnberR then gave his version of the
story, IN which he related the whole transac-
ton with the 'hayseeder" and negotiatio. of
the sale of counterfeit money. The whole
affair Yves practical joke, he said and We
got the worst side of it. The laugh is on the
wrong man. thought | was having some
fun with countryman, but the sucker was
on the wrong end of the pump.
Steinberg tells his story without waverng.
1t may be true. At all events the prosecu.
tion will fad it difficult to disprove it.
1t was at first proposed to photograph the
whole party for the benefit of the police, but
1t is doubtful if the officers will feel justified
in taking that liberty with the men unless
they can show good grounds for entertaining
their suspicious.
The nine men arrested on suspicion of
passing counterfeit money, have been dis
charged and without a hearing. There was
no evidence. The arrest was premature.
The men say they were only having some
fun with countryman, offering him counter
felt money.

Trying to Initiate Jesse James.

MILWAUKEE, May "a.
Ernest Pfeffer, in Jail here for the con-
fessed murder of farmer Tillapaugh, is said
to have made disclosures to the police which
have brought to light the existence of a band
of conspirators whose organization was based
on the plan of Jesse James gang. Plans had
been LAID for the murder and robbery of
wealthy farmers, and pillage of express trains
and pay cars. The gang were only waiting
for the release of a member from prison to
begin operations, but Pieffer, it seems, ran
short of funds, and murdered Tillapaugh on
his own account. 1t is said that he made the
revelation in hope of clemency being shown
him in his arsl for the murder. About halt
dozen well known criminals are implicated
and the authorities are looking for them.
